  * See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/4242 for context.

  * The URL still supports:
  * - tagFilter: for filtering displayed tags
- * - smoothing: scalar smoothing setting
  * - runColorGroup: run color grouping configuration
  * - runFilter: run selector regex filter
  * - Feature flags
